Research and Markets: Sudan and South Sudan Power Report Q2 2012: Power Sector Benefiting from Large-Scale Investment ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b5e4e3/sudan_and_south_su) has announced the addition of the "Sudan and South Sudan Power Report Q2 2012" report to their offering.

Sudan's power sector is benefiting from large-scale investment in new infrastructure. China has emerged as one of the biggest players in the sector, having already played a major role in developing Sudan's hydroelectric power facilities. Hydropower currently accounts for almost 60% of Sudan's total power generation output, with the remaining output largely comprising oil-fired facilities. Meanwhile, there is growing interest from foreign investors in the potential to develop thermal and solar power sources in Sudan. A diversified approach to power infrastructure development could help Sudan extend the availability of energy to rural and peripheral regions.

Sudan and South Sudan Power Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, power associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Sudan and South Sudan's power industry.

From 2011 to 2016, Sudan's overall power generation is expected to increase at an annual average rate of 0.75% to reach 8.21TWh. Contributing to this growth will be a 0.36% annual average increase in oil-fired power generation. Meanwhile, hydropower generation is expected to increase by an average of 1.02% annually over our forecast. Sudan is becoming a place of considerable interest for companies looking to invest in underdeveloped infrastructure markets where there is much scope for growth. Most notably, the country has been one of the largest beneficiaries of China's Africa strategy. Between 2001 and 2007, Sudan received the second largest (after Nigeria) level of infrastructure financing commitments from China, totalling US$1.3bn. Much of this has been directed at the power sector and one of the most pertinent examples of this is the Merowe Dam, which was inaugurated in 2009 and has the largest capacity of any hydropower dam in Africa.
